Further, there are ambiguities in that report: "Rape OR sexual assault"; "Fear of reprisal OR getting offender in trouble" (28%) The difference between each of these two things is important, and certainly impacts the interpretation of results.

- Chris2048 10y agoOne, or the other, can or cannot support the claim "Rape victims are still terrified to come forward". A victim of sexual assault that isn't rape cannot be counted towards this figure, so an aggregate number for both rape and sexual assault isn't helpful.
